Thank you!

HEY!

Ok thanks for everything that yall have done for me :) seriously i recieve every blessing i get because of you! not even playin!! so i have an important notice. Kims baptism and wedding are canceled.... hahahah just kidding! they're just moved back a week due to finances and stuff!! so this saturday is the real date :) oops! surprise! hurray!!! so this week has been strange. like mind strange. my mind has been gone! aparently just gone!! things have happened and sis G was freaking out about them and i was like. what? when did this happen? and she says Just Now!! im in a weird mind place. blaaa! so i felt really out and not in the loop. for most of the week! its not a real good feeling. it was like when you were little and you'd go to the table where the grown ups are talking. and you have no idea what they are saying and they wont say things because your there! ya know what im sayin? so that was rough but one day i just lost all my effort to put on a smile and be bold and flexable! i was quiet and i was not in a great mood. i felt bad afterwards. but it was like i just couldn't do it! and then my companion was like I knew you were not optomistic! i knew it was hard for you!!!. ok 1. you dont know anything. 2. you dont have any idea what goes on inside my brain. 3. its really sweet that yo u think about me though :) 4. i still love you! pro con. pro con. so there were events this week where i took deep breaths. went to the bathroom. held a smile and prayed! hahaha but that just adds to all the fun. i know who im not. and im learning who i am. no one can change that, no one every truely knows me except Christ and Heavenly Father... possibly my mom.. and dad... and siblings... ok my family knows me pretty dang well! Being a missionary is so hard! there is an expectation of missionary behavior. and some people are more keen on keeping that. i try to just be myself. Im being exactly obediant so i know i have no need to fear. its just little things those around me say that make me question, everything. :P But im working on it. im getting stronger. at least i pray i am haha ok thats it from drama debby! back to fun fanny! haha

(we txt alll the tiimmmemeee scriptures and stuff. daily contact) and we acidentally called her. for our phone is a brick lol we love it though! anyway we called her and she told us how she had gone to her dad crying(she lives with him.(divorced parents.)) telling him about how she felt and us the missionaries and about how this gospel makes her happy, and she aparently expressed her love for us.. lol and he said that we're welcome in his home... Wait What?!? We can go over there!!!!!!!!!!! The Lord softens peoples hearts! and that day we fasted, before she told them her decision. this is a result of that! OH HOW MERCIFUL THE LORD IS!! You can definetly see the spirit working on people. amazing. simply amazing! so we were screaming on the phone for a good solid 5 mins:) screaming and laughing! we never say i love you enough to her! its hard to not say it always!! tonight is going to be way fun! oh my! we just love her!! we (sis g and i) are here for Her! and She brought us here! WOW!! OH MY GOSH!!!!

 

Kim Lewis (almost Mobbley). Still coming to church!! WOOP WOOP! Brandon even came this last sunday!! yay!! and they met with the bishop after church. they let us be there too. saturday at 7 the wedding starts!! woooo! they asked us to be the 2 witnesses haha what? am i old enough to be a witness? hahaha we said sure! and if we're not suppost to, we will find out lol. but they are sooo sweet! like they cutest couple ever! he is tall and broad with short dreads, and scruffy! he loves basketball too. than kim is short and cute! with short spiky dreads haha they basically have the same hair! soo cute! oh my if you see them, you would be all smiles and awes too! too cute to be legit! ;) so we had a lesson with her just a few hours ago actually :) her wedding dress comes in tomorrow! and brandon was at the lesson. and they were talking about how he knows what shoes she should wear. and he'll clean them for her if she finds them :) so adorbale!!!!!!!! they have this deep love. and its the most beautiful thing in the world! he is so sweet and kind to her. the love he has for our kim is out of this world! and she loves him too!! so we had followed up on their reading. and we had taught the law of chasity a few times back. (fore we have gotten real good at teaching that, not awkard at all! cool eh?) and kim had told us that they were still practicing the chasity until they're married. she can see their relationship change, its more deeper and more... lovey? hahah i dont know the word im thinking of. but then i guess brandon had told her that he really wants to wait to do anything until they're married to make it more special :) awe! He said that!! and he like just became a gator yesterday!! haha soooooooo coooool!!! everyone! live the law of chasity! its great!! hahaha! you recieve soo many blessings! oh my i cant wait to send home pictures of Kim and Brandon :):) They are just the cutest couple ever!! and they want to be sealed in the temple someday! He said he wants that!! and so does Kim!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Oh my If only we could just hang out with Kim and Brandon ALL Day!! you know we would ;) she is always sad when we have to leave haha so are we! she wants to go out with us after she is baptized and she really wants a sleepover after our missions :) She is so prepared! she was saying today. like what kind of person would i be if you guys hadn't knocked on my door? what would i be doing! and its true! This gospel changes lives! there are people in the area your sent to go share the gospel to! and you never really know this to be true until you find those your supposed to find :):)

 

Those are the two big ones :) oh how much i love them!! Remember how i was saying this week was up and down? yes the downs were like great black holes, i couldn't see an end. then the ups were like floating in clouds! i never want to come down haha It is always nice to really know how much your appreciated. i never realized how much sister Garten thought of me. never! so we have a trio for a day and a half. ( a campus sis went home cause she had a concusion, so we had her comp until the STLs could take her. so basiclaly we were bbsitting ;)) but I realized how much i love my companion! i dont know what i would do with out her! she and i are made for each other.  yes we argue and we annoy each other and we want to punch each other. but the love that we have is deeper and more everlasting! no matter what she says or does i love her! i pray she feels the same way!! haha anyway so friday was an awful day. absolutely aweful. we had one apt and dinner. thats it. and all our gators were out of town or not home or something. so we tracted, contacted referrals, tried visiting people, i think we almost did everything in the books. and it was raining so not many people were out. it was awful. after dinner we decided to tract this one hood and we got 2 new gators. they seemed legit! (one bailed a lesson though :() and then we did more somewhere else and it was a no go. we pulled out the roaster and chose a name we didnt know. we go. she was home. We had the Best Lesson ever! it was a family! the member is 73 and from the phillipeans she only speaks tagalic. and she lives with her daughter and husband and 3 kids. we taught them, they got BoMs and we testified!! they said theyd come to church. not all of them did, but it was still really cool! (they fed us really cool brownines with peanut butter in it! BRILLIANT)  but the day was so rough and than we went home with a bang! Oh how merciful the Lord is unto the children of men! There are just some people here that i know ill be friends with for life :) its nice to know that too!!!! ok well thats all i have for now. phew thats alot of typing! i need to eat some lunch i am so hungry im ganna die!!  Everyone! be safe! the Book of Mormon is the convincing evidence that this gospel is true. so. go read it! I love you all!
